Core Maths

Core Maths is a descriptor for a range of different Level 3 qualifications, it is not a qualification title in itself.

OCR and Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI) have jointly developed two new qualifications designed to meet the Core Maths requirements: Level 3 Certificate in Quantitative Reasoning (MEI) and Level 3 Certificate in Quantitative Problem Solving (MEI). This is a well-established partnership which provides a firm foundation for curriculum and qualification development. Both of our qualifications are supported by a free resource package developed by MEI.

Both OCR's qualifications have been accredited by Ofqual for first examination in 2016 and approved by the Department for Education as a performance measure from 2017. Each of our qualifications have been awarded the following UCAS tariff: A - 20, B - 16, C - 12, D - 10, E - 6.
